Although the age of fourteen or fifteen has just been able to do things for a short time, to a certain extent, it is still the age when men's desires are second only to the peak before and after the weak crown, because of psychological reasons, to some extent, it is stronger than the potential desire of the right age around the age of twenty. Although the young men were very inexperienced, they quickly went on the path under the woman's deliberate guidance. Two clouds and rain in quick succession lasted for half an hour.

The old bustard, who was not too old in this industry, had long lost the reserve and self-esteem that girls and even ordinary women must have, but at this time she still felt a lot of fear, because from the somewhat unkind eyes of the two new officers and soldiers, she seemed to feel a trace of evil intentions to kill her mouth, and at the same time felt that she had miscalculated. The legendary Forbidden Brigade of the Son of Heaven has such ability, how can it be a team with ordinary military discipline. If something like this happens, it's not that there is no possibility of being killed.

The old bustard, who had taken precautions, hurriedly said straightforwardly: "The concubine not only eavesdropped on a lot of those people's words through unique means, and can roughly guess their whereabouts, but also knows another secret, just three months ago, when the army was just on an expedition, it seems that several people with extraordinary temperament personally sent a baby boy, and gave a thousand taels of silver to let the concubine take care of this person to grow up, saying that if this child can become an adult and sensible, there will be greater benefits." Although I have heard of such a thing before, I have heard of this kind of thing. But in this kind of thing, it is a thousand taels of cash, and it is all a whole piece of official silver, and the baby's origin must be a little extraordinary. Although there is a lot of money, but the stakes are very high, I heard that you are all forbidden to travel around the Son of Heaven, so the concubine does not dare to hide it... ”

At this moment, the raid on Yan Mingtai and many other relevant officials of the Ministry of War in the capital has also been launched. In addition to the civilian officials of the military system, there are also many military generals and military ministers who were previously in charge of the nine gates of the capital. Of course, the scope of this action was not wide, and Xiao Xuan still felt that it was right to use color for some rebellious people after thinking about it for a long time. However, it is obvious that now is not the time to learn from Liu Zongmin, Li Yan and others, and if you put on a posture of completely breaking with the civil officials and even the Beijing official class, you may still bring a lot of trouble to yourself from the worst position.

In the past few days, Xiao Xuan has of course learned that the nobles and even the internal supervisors have a lot of interests, but it is very likely that the interests of these people will appear in a more politically isolated situation if they are moved now. Perhaps only three years later, the team of more than 10,000 people has really become about 30,000 elite soldiers, and under favorable conditions, it can be equivalent to the second Jianzhou alone, and there will be no situation where the control of the capital and the caretaker or even the troops are overstretched, and it is the time when the showdown can really be done.

Xiao Xuan estimated based on what he had learned that although he only targeted some high-ranking civil and military officials and dignitaries in the entire capital, if he plundered and dug up the land and wealth, about a fraction of the 70 million taels of silver that Li Zicheng had dug up in 1644, and about 2 or 3 million taels of silver, there should still be no problem.

However, after a whole day of raiding and torturing those suspects, including some gold and silver utensils and even copper coins that might be sold, the income was only 570,000 taels, which was far from the figure he expected. Xiao Xuan is actually not the first time to do this work. So there is still some experience: as a rule, the first day of torture can account for about half of the total potential. Because most people simply don't have much ability to stand up to the punishment. It is often seen that those cruel punishments will honestly do all the tricks in order to avoid being punished, at most there will be some clever people who shirk the private treasures of their subordinates, or the private treasury that the head of the family and the main leaders do not know at all, and it may take a few more days to clean these up.

Just when Xiao Xuan was a little disappointed, and he was a little hesitant to understand the cakes of the internal supervisor and Xungui, who were theoretically his own people, a secret report from the military intelligence system was suddenly sent.

"It seems that I may have used too much energy in the barracks, and this omission is really not small... Xiao Xuan actually didn't have much to fear, but he also knew that the hidden dangers he had buried because of his momentary assumptions should be cleaned up.

After the construction and expansion of the Yumajian barracks in the past year and a few months, it is not only the daily training of officers and soldiers and the camp area where they are stationed has become much larger. The Vault is not as simple as it used to be, with cellars and tunnels. A number of decent houses have also been built on the surface of the land for house arrest purposes that are not harsh. The purpose, of course, is that I don't know if I will meet someone like Huang Dou again in the future, and if I need a prison design bureau.

However, after nightfall, the person Xiao Xuan wanted to interrogate was not Huang Dou, but a woman with a big name who had been pampered in the cold palace-like place in the Forbidden City shortly after he ascended the throne: Ke Yinyue.

"I used to think that you were a very smart and self-aware person, but now it seems that I still overestimate you." At this time, Xiao Xuan's words and eyes didn't seem to see much warmth. Yes, it's just a hint of blandness before the send-off.

Although Ke Yinyue had already been mentally prepared for the situation at this time, she still didn't dare to pretend to be calm, but begged for mercy in a panic: "Holy Heaven, spare your life!" The concubine is wrong! The concubine is willing to be a non-existent slave from now on... ”

Xiao Xuan smiled unabashedly at this time: "I said that I am not Li Shimin, but a cautious person by nature. Do you think I will abide by what I have said in the face of a restless person like you? Of course, I said that I am not Li Shimin, one is that I am not a person with courage like him, and the other is that I am not a person like him who has no benevolence like a very big man. Whether it's poisoning or hanging, it's very uncomfortable after all, so if there's nothing going on, be ready to take the charcoal gas on the road after I'm gone. ”

"If the concubine knows a little bit of information about the secret treasury in the Forbidden City, she can solve the temporary needs of the saint, I wonder if she can exchange it for a way to live?" Ke Yinyue said suddenly.

"The secret treasury in the Forbidden City?" When Xiao Xuan heard this, he suddenly thought of something, as if he had overlooked a lot of things before. I only know that when Chongzhen died in the country, there was not much silver in the inner treasury. However: Chongzhen's control of the serious inner treasury does not necessarily mean that all the palace maids, eunuchs and even high-ranking officials in the entire court do not have their own private wealth that is not known? At least in the past, when the land wealth was excavated, many of the land treasures were not necessarily known to the owner.
